They will travel to Dubai, where they will shop for gift items worth N1 million in 60 seconds. Luck shone on the ladies as their numbers were picked at the third raffle draw, at the Eldorado Hills, Amuwo-Odofin, Lagos, last Friday.

The first draw did not produce any female winner, while a lone female consumer emerged for the big prize during the second raffle draw.

Balogun said she was overjoyed at the news. The second lady, 25- year-old Oluchi Umunakwe, a 400 level part-time student of the Lagos State University (LASU), said she looked forward to the Legend Unique Shopping Experience, as it would afford her the opportunity of getting a passport as well as flying on a plane for the first time.

Although Oluchi is unsure of the items she would pick for herself during the trip, she is targeting an ipad for her elder brother.

While both Tokunbo and Oluchi emerged via the electronic raffle draw, Monday was picked at the venue of the draw.

Roselyn said: “On Friday afternoon (the day of the raffle draw), I felt like clubbing and I told my friend, who then suggested we should hang out at M18 Night Club, where we then got to hear about the promo. We were curious and wanted to confirm whether the promo was true or not. Like every other person, we plugged in and tried our luck. A few hours later, I was shocked beyond words when I heard my name being called from the stage, saying that I have won a ticket for the trip to Dubai.”

The Moshood Abiola Polytechnic student attributed her winning to the hostesses present at the raffle draw venue.

She explained: “I wanted to order one of the ready-to-drink beers, but a particular hostess informed me about the promo and the fact that there were lots of fantastic prizes up for grabs, if only I tried Legend. I ordered for one, and they gave me a raffle ticket which I filled and submitted. I am delighted to be among the selected few who will travel to Dubai to shop for up to N1 million. I pray that the luck that won me this ticket will also see me through in Dubai. I am just excited and overwhelmed right now, and, honestly, I feel Legend is a great beer.”

Other winners were Fisayo Abiodun Johnson, a student of the Federal University of Technology, Akure; Anosiri Chukwujejwu, a metal fabricator and Eduh Onuninya, a lawyer based in Nnewi, Anambra State.

For Fisayo, who is a year-four student of Urban and Regional Planning, he never believed he could win, even when he kept sending the crown cork codes to the designated number.

“I didn’t even believe I could win, not in a million years. I have tried participating in several promos in the past, but I have never been lucky. In fact, I still find it difficult to believe that I have won. I don’t even have an international passport; but I have been told that Legend will organise one for me. I just plan to go to Dubai and have fun.

While Anosiri said he decided to partake in the promo after seeing the information on posters, Eduh said he was not convinced, until the Legend brand team visit him to inform him of his victory.

When it dawned on him that he had won, he said: “I was shocked and shed tears of joy,” he said.

Even though I didn’t believe in the promo, when I was sending the unique crown code, I believed for a miracle. I am overjoyed.

Christopher Johnson and Peter Uvoh are also winners of the Dubai Shopping Experience. Christopher, who trades in food items, such as beans, rice and maize, plans to buy clothes, phones, laptops and plasma TV in Dubai.

Peter Uvoh, a mechanical engineer, said he was confident of winning; hence he kept his crown cork for one month.

He said: “You won’t believe I only sent in one crown cork to the code specified on the bottle. And later, I was informed that I had won the ticket.

“Going to Dubai is a testimony. I’m very happy that, out of the hundreds of thousands of people who have been making entries, I emerged as one of the winners.”
